DJ's ISSA and DonGuapo hit the airwaves.
Kimmy Kim Kim.
A couple of weeks ago my homegirl Kim Hill blessed the Bay with her presence. She had a gig out in San Jose and I hooked her up with my homeboy Wonway to DJ at Devil's Pie in SF. We had a lovely time. I love to see the LA fam.
Sarah White & Rucyl
New music alert! Brooklyn resident Sarah White's "I Wanna Be With You" (produced by Arch-Typ) has been moving bodies on the dancefloor and making noise on the scene for a minute now. Producer and musical visonary Rucyl has stepped in with a brand new remix of the track that re-imagines the tune with deeper beats and bottom heavy sound. It's available now via FiveSixMedia.

Illvibe Collective.
A couple of summers ago I had the pleasure of hosting Hezekiah and Statik from Philly. They were doing a promo tour for Hezekiah's new album and crashed at my crib for a few days. Since then, I have been building with Statik and learning more about his crew, work, and extraordinary DJ talent. Illvibe hosts a podcast called The Difference and when I say the music is dope....well, that is an understatement. It is beautiful and technically flawless. Check it out.

True HipHop Stories.
I am LOVING this new project D-Nice is working on! Loving it. I love hearing real life everyday stories from folks. So many interviews and stories are on some superficial shit. This is a great platform. I thought it would be fitting to post Monie Love's story as Monie in the Middle was my jam of last week. Holla!

Still Bill.
Bill Withers is by far one of my favorite singers of all time. His music is simple and timeless yet complex and brand new to me everytime I put on one of his records. I am extremely excited to see this film.

Marketing 101
This, in two words, is the secret of the new marketing.
Find ten people. Ten people who trust you/respect you/need you/listen to you...
Those ten people need what you have to sell, or want it. And if they love it, you win. If they love it, they'll each find you ten more people (or a hundred or a thousand or, perhaps, just three). Repeat.
If they don't love it, you need a new product. Start over.
Your idea spreads. Your business grows. Not as fast as you want, but faster than you could ever imagine.
This approach changes the posture and timing of everything you do.
You can no longer market to the anonymous masses. They're not anonymous and they're not masses. You can only market to people who are willing participants. Like this group of ten.
The timing means that the idea of a 'launch' and press releases and the big unveiling is nuts. Instead, plan on the gradual build that turns into a tidal wave. Organize for it and spend money appropriately. The fact is, the curve of money spent (big hump, then it tails off) is precisely backwards to what you actually need.
Three years from now, this advice will be so common as to be boring. Today, it's almost certainly the opposite of what you're doing.
